I've received mixed responses from this, but most are happy that lockouts are removed. But usually the most elite of the most elite would say something along the lines of "So we've spent our time being the best, keeping up to be the best for nothing? gg se"
Now, if that situation actually happened in the real world.. I'm thinking stuff like internet. You used to pay $100 a month for dial up and now your kids get fiber optic with half the price? I've wasted 10 years of my life!

Then again, i kind of understand the feeling of those who has tried their best just to sort of "keep up", because I try to do that too. Winning new bosses within 1 week of release, not missing out on loot of any kind.. hard world eh
